Surprised you didn't consider the American Robin right at the start. Combined with the cards given by the Grebe and the eggs from the Dove, you would've had a nice forest engine to cycle through. Any particular reason for not going this way?

[@Wingsplain]

Quite frankly, this video is pretty dated. I made it a year and a half ago. My opinions on certain cards have changed over that time. If I were to have this game today, I would have secured the Robin.
While dated, I think this video still does a good job of showcasing effective engine building and proper game development.

You didn't pick up the killdeer?

[@Wingsplain]

This video is pretty old so I can't explain exactly what I was thinking at the time but I suspect it had something to do with the fact that it was getting past the point where Killdeer would be useful. Round three is pretty late.

@@Wingsplain sounds like a logical decision.
